I just bought the machine and C4 with the P4 I plan on doing my half ton Silverado. I’m using your orange and white pad. How many pads will I need? Do I need to clean the pads? Where can I get the whole truck done with one side of pads without cleaning

Great video Joey! Are pad colors universal across manufacturers from a cutting/polishing power standpoint?

Technically you can, however you also want to give your pads a break because if they get too hot from being worked too hard/long they will begin to collapse and fall apart. That's a reason why you see people swapping to a new pad after a panel or two. I learned this the hard way.

I believe you would match the pad and compound for its designed purpose. In otherwords, you wouldn't use a fine compound for removing light swirls with a heavy pad, and you wouldn't use a heavy compound for deep cutting with a soft pad meant for applying waxes or seals.
